PEI Mobility, bellows for buses

The bellows was produced with patented “removable bottom” technology that allows easy replacement of the entire bottom part of the bellows including the bends. This ensures great time savings in product replacement and maintenance. The particular extensions were designed following the physiognomy of the bus to give the vehicle a harmonious and clean design. Made with the most advanced materials, bellows feature patented systems that ensure optimum fastening to the carriage body, guaranteeing ultra-smooth movement, greater reliability and increased on-board comfort.

Guides system and cables
